Thorium Reactors Promise Even Cleaner & Safer Nuclear-Powered Future

Adults are talking about nuclear power as if it were a long lost relative. Having wrecked reliable power supplies with subsidies for chaotically delivered wind and solar, any country worth being part of has put nuclear power generation back at the forefront of its energy future. The French are pouring €millions into research and development … Continue reading Thorium Reactors Promise Even Cleaner & Safer Nuclear-Powered Future

Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever

Generating power reliably around-the-clock, nuclear power has always made sense - ask the French, for starters. When compared against the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar, and their need for massive and endless subsidies, nuclear power generation wins hands down. If anything, the disaster unfolding in places where increasing wind and solar capacity has wrecked … Continue reading Generation IV: New Reactor Design Makes Ever-Reliable Nuclear Safer Than Ever

If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Rent-seekers and the wind and solar cult have conniptions at the merest mention of nuclear power, principally because it works around-the-clock. No need for batteries. No need for back up. Wild claims about the purported benefits of wind and solar never survive the first contact with reality. So, acolytes have to defer and deflect on … Continue reading If Your Country’s Not Backing Nuclear Power It’s Probably Going Backwards

Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment

Poland’s abundant coal-fired power is often the only thing keeping Germany’s lights on when ‘dunkelflaute’ - gloomy, windless weather - strikes. The ever-pragmatic Poles are likely to keep their coal-fired plants running for generations to come. But, keen to reduce dependence on Russian oil and gas, Poland is developing a plan to build new-generation nuclear … Continue reading Poland Develops Grand Plan For New Generation Nuclear Backed By $4bn American Investment

Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics

Voters get the governments are to serve, so it’s said, which means that sympathy for their current energy woes runs thin. Voters who walked into a booth thinking they would save the planet by backing candidates and parties who promised to go all in on the grand wind and solar ‘transition’, might be suffering a … Continue reading Want Cheap & Reliable Power? Then Stop Voting for Deluded RE Obsessed Lunatics

Wind & Solar Debacle Means It’s Time To Bring Small Nuclear Reactors Onshore

SMRs are no pipe dream: 200 small nuclear reactors are presently powering 160 ships and submarines all around the world, and have been for decades. What’s on foot is a move to bring those reactors onshore and use them to shore up power grids being wrecked by the chaotic intermittency of wind and solar. STT promotes … Continue reading Wind & Solar Debacle Means It’s Time To Bring Small Nuclear Reactors Onshore

Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power

STT promotes nuclear power because it works: safe, affordable and reliable it’s the perfect foil for those obsessed about carbon dioxide gas – because it doesn’t generate any, while generating power on demand - unlike the unreliables, wind and solar. One of the feeble ‘arguments’ against it, is that nuclear power plants are of such … Continue reading Nuclear’s New Dawn: Small Modular Reactors Offer Ever-Reliable CO2-Free Power
